CLASSES

Jeanne's classes, held in her Sudbury studio, are small group with lots of individualized attention at your easel. Each month, we focus on a topic to help hone your artistic skills. Students work from provided still life or from their own photos, whether portrait or landscape. The small group makes it possible to accommodate all levels of experience. The class is always open to students working on individualized projects—do what you love. We hold group discussion/critiques every 3-4 weeks. Have a suggestion/request for a future class topic? email me!
